Kings Island (KI) Discussion Thread

They could also give out a voucher as you leaving the station as they did with Maverick's opening weekend. Also I bet it will take 3-4 hours before they run out of those T-Shirts, If its anything like DB's opening day.

[glouthan]

^Right. 5,000 is a lot of people, and Banshee's hourly capacity is around 1,600 guests, so it should take a few hours for them to run out of shirts.

Looks like we'll have to hold off on Banshee pictures for awhile. Kings Island GM is at ValleyFair, I would think some pictures from there will be popping up soon.

At least not with the General Public. You coaster enthusiasts are going to fight over these shirts like it's water in a desert. Have fun!

 

I hope they ordered a lot of XXXL shirts then.

Oh my gosh. That's rude, but hilarious at the same time

I believe there's an employee party on Sunday, so we'll hear some reviews starting then.

[thrillrider]

^^Well, there will be a lot of ACE members on hand.

Do you know why the Kings Island's GM is at Valleyfair?

[Invertalon]

Looking forward to Thursday... I am curious if it will be more/less busy than CP's media day was. Not like it matters, but I wonder if location will draw more/less, or if Cedar Point will naturally draw a bigger crowd. Back at Diamondbacks media day, it was DEAD. But it was also closed to enthusiasts and all that as well... It was nice never having to get off the ride though.

Just checking up I guess. Kings Island is his main park to stay, but most GMs, PRs, and such visit other Cedar Fair parks time to time.

Here's a photo of Banshee testing that the park posted.

God, that thing is so freaking massive.

I kinda saw that coming

[GayCoasterGuy]

We all know it's freaking massive, but is it any good?

 

bad, I know.

After the disaster that OzIris turned out to be? I wouldn't hold my breath.

They say "Size doesn't matter."

[Dr. M]

Banshee's so big you'll feel like it's trying to puncture your bladder. Gotta love that stabby feeling. En garde!

Some people beg to differ

I wouldn't call Oz'Iris a disaster. Was it apparently a big let-down? Yeah. But, it's not like everyone and their grandma blatantly refuses to ride it. It's better than Goudurix, right?

Maybe a poor sex joke?

[JonnyRCT3]

Even if this does turn out to be another forceless B&M, it still has a great mix of elements. So the ride experience shouldn't suffer.

[glouthan]

^And a nice theme, too.
